oscillik Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Mac! It works fine but it tends to tell me it quit unexpectedly when it hasn't, and a few jerky in-game errors that didn't matter much yeah there are issues with the Macintosh version at the moment, give it a few days and they'll be on top of it - never takes Valve long to fix bugs.

Guest iamabe Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 what about that diablo clone is it any good? gametrailers says yes just bought Bob Came in Pieces petty nice but I expected more Torchlight is good. It's a really stripped down diablo (from the devs of diablo) but there are lots of items, nice skills, etc. You have a pet who does shit for you and summoning classes are awesome... you can basically summon small armies of skeletons, golems, zombies, etc. and let them work for you.

baph Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ctrl + Click lol defensive mac users It's just funny how persistent the one button mac mouse idea is, even though it's not really applicable any more (all the new apple input device stuff essentially has a right click button or a right click gesture; I've never actually had to ctrl click; and nobody really uses the bundled mice anyway, right?). Hell, I didn't go near apple for a long time because of associations with the one button oldskool imac pucks I had to use in the odd computer lab. I feel like smashing my head through my monitor just thinking about it. edit: related note, is my Logitech MX Revolution going to be ok for FPS stuff like HL2? Or is the wireless unusably laggy? It seems ok for Portal and the casual games I have so far, but. . . yeah, obviously I'm not much of a gamer. I can dust off an old wired intellimouse, but would that just be a step in the wrong direction anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Also, the Indie 5 pack seems pretty fun, but both world of goo and machinarium don't run fullscreen (instead there's a bit of a letterboxing/windowing with black border effect). Is that standard behavior? I didn't see anything on the dedicated steam forums. The other 3 indie games run fullscreen without a hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 3 indie games run fullscreen without a hitch. you're right that they are letterbox, but that's just by design. Machinarium has epic wide 2:1 aspect painted worlds for example. Plus the letterbox black bars contain hidden UI elements like the menu and your inventory :) I don't mind it. You've got to try out "And Yet It Moves"... this 2d indie puzzle game trend has got to continue (braid!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 That looks like a fucking deceptacon/cobra command footsoldier hybridgasm! If world of goo and machinarium are intentionally letterboxed, that's cool. I basically just opened all of the games up to make sure everything worked after downloading last night, and didn't really explore at all. . . except for And Yet it Moves, which got me immediately addicted and playing well after midnight despite an anticipated 5am wake up.

Guest KY Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 i never played portal before downloading it day before yesterday, though i was always interested with the gameplay videos i'd seen—normally my video gaming is limited as i don't enjoy nerding it up in that manner. in any case, i really like the game, but the retarded computer mouse photos on the previous page make me want to avoid this thread from here on out.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Although I liked how fast they fixed the mac bugs I completed the game twice in the period between hearing about it and the bug getting fixed, so it was basically too late, or the game is too short in other news, oscillik judges mac user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hautlle Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 awesome new mouse called the cyborg R.A.T. comes out soon. Isn't this MadCatz though? They do cheap knock-off console controllers.

sneaksta303 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 wow so I go to download portal today, and I had to re-download steam, as I havent used it since 2007 or something, and I somehow remember my steam account login AND password. You can imagine my pleasant surprise when I see that I can d/l HL2 and the episodes for free, as I apparently bought them. I mean, I bought HL2 in 2006 or so, but never the episodes. It also shows me as having logged in game hours for these games, and I haven't, and I have 1/2 the achievements in portal, even though i havent ran it yet. I'm confused....

sneaksta303 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 nevermind. But this makes me happy. I've never played a multiplayer online game before so maybe I'll try my hand at some FPS madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
